the candidates have to know is that the weightage is as per the past year paper analysis and not from the official
sources. Let’s not delay further and get straight to the point!

NEET Chapterwise Weightage for Physics

The most fearful section amongst the medical aspirants, this section can be tackled very easily if they know
what is the important chapter from which more questions are expected to come (“Who doesn’t like that?”). Take
a look at the chapter wise weightage for the physics section.
